Spring Vacation Rocks!

Lots of goodies today!

On The Homefront

My son got the special treatment at karate practice today. He had the instructor all to himself for training. And if that wasn't all...cue the trumpets...he also got his third stripe on his yellow belt! Yay!! I'm so proud of him. He got the stripe so fast this time, if you blinked you would've missed it! But he is doing so well. And I think he enjoys it. It was a very good day.

Is It Just The Spring Air?

A good man is hard to find, but I think I just may have one. :) Okay, too bashful to go into all that! But I thought knitting was great all by itself. Now it's even better! Go figure.

Another Milestone

I tried another project that I had been wanting to do for awhile. The Fingerless Mitts from WEEKEND KNITTING. I really like many of the patterns in the book but since I still consider myself a beginner, I have been reluctant to try any of them since I got it (about a month and a half ago). Today I mustered up the courage to try this pattern. I guess it was all the mini-charts that intimidated me about this one. When I tried it today I found that it was surprisingly straightforward. I only hit a few snags like once I mistakenly skipped over a passage that said to knit four more rows. I had to rip it out and start over when I realized that at the end there weren't enough rows and I couldn't tell where I should've put them. Dumb mistake. Next time I started, I used a little notebook and indian dashes to help me keep track. Next snag: Casting on the three sts over the gap for the thumb. I know how to do the knitted cast on but I didn't understand the notation until I tried it the wrong way first! I don't know why. It was really simple. Sometimes I do have a tendency to make things more complex than what they have to be. Don't we all? But since I've been pretty much learning by trial and error, I know how to go back and fix things pretty good. Not all the time. But most times. I went back and tried again a different way and it came out right. So I even wrote a note in my little booklet for the next time I use that pattern. It's really quick, so I'm going to be using it for gift-giving when the season rolls around again to cover up.

Spring vacation is being very nice to me. :)
